Rising from the Ashes: Navigating Grief, Discovering Strength


Loss has a way of hollowing out the world. It doesn't knock politely it crashes in, reorders your reality, and leaves silence in its wake. For those who’ve experienced the deepest cut of grief, survival can feel like both a miracle and a mystery. But if you're reading this, you're already walking that path and that, in itself, makes you extraordinary.

In the first few stages of grief these times can be incredibly overwhelming, isolating and yet providing a chance to reflect on things that one might had said, done or those 'could haves'. Never think the 'Could Have's' are gone forever, because they aren't, you might wish there were things you said to your loved one when they were here that you never got around to saying, well you still can say them. Because until they know you are on your feet and coping, they are often around you providing you with strength and loving support through the veil. They hear every word you say, it's okay to speak to them, just because their physical body is gone, their soul isn't.

🖤 The Weight of Grief: When the Soul Cracks Open

Grief isn’t just sadness. It’s transformation through devastation. It's anger, confusion, loneliness, numbness sometimes all in one breath. But within its painful folds lies something quietly astonishing: knowledge. The kind not taught, but earned.

  • The loss rewires your perception of time, love, and meaning.

  • Your identity shatters and you're invited to rebuild it piece by sacred piece.

  • And somewhere in the silence, if you're brave enough to listen…you may hear love echo back.

🌿 A Survivor's Journey: Strength in Every Scar

You don’t overcome grief by “getting over it”—you evolve through it.

  • Survivors don’t wear smiles to fake strength. They wear resilience that whispers: “I’ve walked through fire, and I’m still here.”

  • With every step, you’re choosing transformation over stagnation.

  • You begin to trust that grief didn’t break you it opened you.

That’s where the true empowerment begins: not in avoidance, but in embrace.

💫 Whispered Connections: Love Beyond the Veil

In the quiet spaces when the mind stills and the heart aches you may feel them. A presence. A warmth. A brush of something unseen. This isn't fantasy. It's the spiritual truth felt by those open enough to listen.

  • Loved ones aren’t gone. They’re just beyond the veil a whisper away.

  • Their love doesn’t fade; it evolves into energy, guidance, and strength.

  • Listen when the wind stirs your curtains or the radio plays that song. Sometimes, they’re reaching through.

  • When you are busy doing something then suddenly you have their face pop in your mind, or a memory of something you shared with them, these are the moments they are beside you, often they are the ones sharing that memory with you.. 'Remember when...?'

  • Children continue to grow: If you lost a baby that soul continues to grow. When I lost my son Andrew he was a newborn, now he is a grown man and is ministering on the other side. His visits are very special to me and just last night he caught me off-guard by coming through a reading I was doing for a lovely client who's son was also on the other side, my son whispered to me 'her son is happy and everything is going to be okay and he is still with her'.

When you allow grief to become a sacred dialogue, their love can become your greatest empowerment.

🔥 Transformative Mindset: The Choice to Grow

Yes—grief can destroy. But it can also awaken.

  • You can choose to transform pain into wisdom, sorrow into creativity, silence into spiritual connection.

  • The loss may have closed a chapter, but it also cracked open a gateway.

  • The doors ahead aren’t just new—they’re profound.

What you decide to do with this knowledge…that is your power.

🕊 Final Thought: Grief as the Catalyst

Sometimes it takes a great loss to open greater doors of change. The pain is real. But so is your capacity for becoming something far richer, deeper, and more spiritually aligned than you ever imagined.


You are not broken. You are becoming. Karen🌹🪽
